San Francisco, CA - (February 2, 2016) Valentine’s
Day is not just about greeting cards. Speakeasy Ales & Lagers is
releasing Massacre Belgian-style Imperial Stout with Cherries, just for
the holiday. This draft only release, the latest installment of
Speakeasy’s Perfect Crime Series, delves into the dark side of Valentine’s Day.

In
1929, the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre was one of the bloodiest days in
the history of organized crime. Seven gang members were gunned down in a
garage, allegedly by Al Capone’s henchmen. No one was ever convicted.
The crime was a national sensation and led to the downfall of Capone,
who became Public Enemy No.1.

Massacre is a very limited draft only release. It will be served for the first time at Speakeasy’s Tap Room on Saturday, February 13, during a release party. Then a small allocation will be distributed throughout California, New York City, and Las Vegas.

About the Perfect Crime Series

The
Perfect Crime Series features ingenious, small batch, and experimental
beers that are carefully contrived and executed by Speakeasy brewers.
Each release is limited to draft only, and may appear just once, so the
perpetrator can’t be brought to justice.

About Speakeasy Ales & Lagers

In 1997 a wily band of bootleggers led by
homebrewer Forest Gray were inspired to bring their exceptional brews
from the underground to the masses, defiantly producing small batches of
beer in a secret warehouse in San Francisco. Starting with a single,
iconic beer, Prohibition Ale, Speakeasy now brews a wide array of
acclaimed beers including Big Daddy IPA, Payback Porter, Double Daddy,
Scarface Imperial Stout and many more, which are distributed across the
entire West Coast and other major U.S. markets.
